Saturday 19th saw the opening meeting in the Swindon Winter Throws series, which I made my debut in last winter, with a reasonable degree of success. This year has started with a real bang in that I have set new national records in the triathlon and heavyweight hammer. The triathlon started well with a solid 23.61 metres in the hammer, a reasonable shot putt of 8.24 metres kept me ahead of the record schedule, but in the final event, the heavyweight hammer, I really went to town setting a new national record of 10.18 metres. My final points score was 1258, over 50 better than the previous record which I set last year.
